“Do you think that every principal and rosh ha’yeshivah has not anguished and cried over every child who can not find a place?”
A red herring. The speech was not addressed to the principals it was addressed to the parent body to stop with their ridiculous elitist demands which place unfair pressure on those in charge.
” if hd doesn’t get in, he will be a failure.”
rightly, or wrongly, why do you think they will feel that way.
“may we better learn to remember what is appropriate public speech and what is not.”
I dont know if he is right or wrong, but until I hear someone slightly up the daas torah ladder from your vantage point say he was wrong for discussing it publicly I will stick with my opinion that he is not at fault for discussing this publicly.
